Borderlands 4, made by Gearbox, now has confirmed regional launch times showing unlocks beginning on Thursday September 11 in many territories and on Friday September 12 elsewhere, which matters because players on PC will see different local start moments depending on location.
Gearbox’s schedule puts several Western time zones a day ahead of the listed global date. It varies by region. Because platforms release at local times instead of a single worldwide timestamp, unlocks will appear across different days and hours depending on location and storefront.
Borderlands 4 launch times on Steam and the Epic Games Store

Character choice is already a talking point, with options like Vex and Amon prompting different playstyles and builds. Who will players pick first? The game offers choices that suit both high-damage and tactical support approaches, and discussion about favourites is already underway across forums and communities.
Confirming system readiness matters since launch will arrive at different local times; check the Borderlands 4 system requirements before attempting to play, and consider patch size and platform store queues when preparing for the first session.
